Regulation Agenda Spain United Kingdom United States Brazil Mexico

Regulation Spain: Tariff Deficit Mechanisms to limit potential future deficits 1. Annual limit of 2% (or total accrued of 5%) 2. Any increase of regulated costs, or any decrease of regulated revenues will have to be offset by reductions in other costs, or by an increase in revenues to assure the economic balance of the system Potential deficits will be financed by all regulated activities from 2014 Iberdrola share in any potential financing would be lower than 15%, favourably comparing to the current 35% 5

Regulation Spain: Distribution Comments • A Regulatory Asset Value (RAV) is set. It corresponds to the implicit value in the prior remuneration methodology, and it can be updated in the future depending on the market value of the physical units. • Operational costs standardization will benefit the most competitive companies. • A remuneration scheme with no reference to the real cost of capital discourages investments. A business that requires continuous investment is not sustainable if it is remunerated at rates below its cost of capital. • There is still time to develop the correct regulation for distribution activities, which incentivises investment, and especially new technologies. 7

Regulation Spain: Special Regime Key elements • The renewables energies support mechanism has been changed, actually, the so called “special regime” has been changed as a whole. Basically, a new set of premiums on invested capacity are calculated to assure a return equivalent to the Spanish Bond plus 300 bp. • Some facilities will get an additional revenue if operational costs were higher than the power market price. • Standard costs will be defined, based in the average Capex per technology and year of commissioning. The resulting value for the asset will be adjusted if during its past lifetime, it obtained returns over or below 7.5% • Exceptionally, a specific remuneration scheme could be approved for new facilities via competitive procedures. • Every 3 years premiums will be revised, only to update for forward power prices 8

Regulation Spain: Special Regime Comments • The asset value adjustment based on past returns, even for those installations that were selling to the market, is clearly retroactive. • The asset remuneration depends on the guaranteed return and also on the forecast of power prices, which is an unknown price. • For renewables, linking the return to the sovereign bond is of less importance than for distribution. The reason is that this business doesn’t require a permanent and recurrent investment, as distribution does. It is closer to a financial type of business, especially first generation of thermo-solar plants. In this case, remuneration has to guarantee, at least, the servicing of debt. • The oldest investments have been the most impacted by the reform. Paradoxically, those were the ones that needed less support and showed a progressive and more orderly development. 9

Regulation Spain: Special Regime Impact of measures by technology The most efficient technologies (wind and cogeneration), and the cleanest one (wind), are impacted the most 10

Regulation Spain: Wholesale market Key elements • Capacity payments decrease 50%. This measure will mainly affect CCGTs • Next market reform should integrate renewable production • With this purpose, it would be necessary to provide depth and stability to the forward market • Additionally, the firm capacity should be properly market priced, so it can be contracted by generators who lack this capacity guarantee, and so, they would be able to sell their energy in the forward market 11

Regulation Spain: Wholesale market Comments • Capacity payments already were completely insufficient to cover the CCGT fixed costs, that remain in losses • It is not consistent to reduce capacity payments when renewable production, which is not manageable, contributes more than 50% of demand and, consequently, an important capacity reserve margin is required to manage the inherent volatility of this type of generation • Regulation should support national industry, but to use interruptibility payments for this purpose is discriminatory for other industries and generators. These payments are 20 times higher than the equivalent cost of reserve MW provided by generators 12

Regulation Spain: Measures to reduce the impact of the new modifications Decrease in Spanish operational costs Internalization of taxes in power market bids Adaptation of power dispatching policies according to new revenues allocation Adaptation of the generation portfolio Defence before the Courts of the interests of our shareholders, against impacts derived from several modifications of doubtful legality (distribution remuneration, retroactive actions, etc.) 14

Regulation Spain: Consequences of the regulatory and tax modifications Tariff deficit is over, at the expense of companies and consumers, reducing the costs previously assumed by the National Budget Nevertheless, the costs of generation and distribution in Spain are the lowest in Europe The final consumer bill has increased over 5%, maintaining electricity prices in Spain among the highest in Europe Electricity tariff continues to include over Eur 15 bn of costs not related to the service representing 40% of the total end consumer price 15

Regulation Spain: Pending reform These modifications have not eliminated from the tariff those costs not related to the electricity supply that it currently bears (40% of the bill paid by the consumer) They are a consequence of the extra costs from environmental and social policies, tariff deficit, etc., that, due to their nature , should be externalised from the electricity bill paid by the consumer It is a problem that not only affects Spain, but also a significant part of Europe, particularly countries that have incentivised the development of renewable energies The solution not only depends on Spain, but also the EC has to define guidelines in order to homogenise the treatment of these costs that are a consequence of European energy policy In summary, it is Europe who has to establish homogeneous criteria to decide how these costs are paid, which is crucial to European industry competitiveness 16

Regulation Mexico Expansion of the business taking advantage of the Energy Reform opportunities Opportunities of Energy Reform1 Generation investments required over US$ 25,500 MM in 2014-2020 17,092 MW of new capacity in the period 2014-2020 “At the end of the period, practically in the whole country natural gas will be used in a larger proportion to produce electricity”1 Additional opportunities in Transmission and Distribution (1) Source: http://www.sener.gob.mx/res/PE_y_DT/pub/2013/Prospectiva_del_Sector_Electrico_2013-2027.pdf 25

Regulation Mexico Most of our output delivered to the CFE with fixed dollar denominated revenues and no fuel price risk Contracts with the CFE allow for improvement in revenues if we outperform the operating parameters committed in our offers (power, heat rate, availability, etc.) Opportunities to increase the sale of electricity to private customers Closely following the opportunities that the ongoing energy reform may offer 26
